Ranked by our review scores

  1. 1. Where Winds Meet

    8.2/10

    Best for a huge open world with cosmetic-only spending

    Like Once Human, it is published by NetEase, and money buys cosmetics rather than power, per the publisher. It is a wuxia open-world action RPG on PC, consoles and mobile with cross-progression rather than a survival game, and it needs 16 GB of RAM.

    Best for a supernatural open world

  3. 3. Delta Force

    7.9/10

    Best for extraction raids

    Team Jade's tactical shooter has an extraction mode, Operations, and large Warfare battles. Its Operations currency, Tekniq Alloy, is earned in play, while money buys Delta Coins for cosmetics, random appearance draws and a Season Pass.

  4. 4. STALZONE

    6.3/10

    Best for survival in a persistent PvPvE zone

    EXBO's extraction shooter is set in a persistent online Chernobyl Exclusion Zone with a story campaign of more than 50 hours, and no mode turns PvP off. Shop packs sell Season Pass levels whose rewards include weapons and exoarmor, so it rates as strongly pay to win.
